Application mea my e, 1906. sessi No. 315,960.

.To all whom it 'may co'nccr'lnv Be it known that I, Mr m'rrN CARROLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, in the county of Jackson and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cement Partitions, of -which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in cement partitions. I

The object of my invention is to provide a partition made of cement plates disposed vertically edge on edge, the plates being supported by means of vertical cementitious studs secured to top and bottom supports.

A .further object of my invention is to provide a partition made principally of cement plates, which shall be comparatively light, strong, durable and cheaply constructed.

Other novel features of my invention are hereinafter fully described and claimed. Y'

' In the accompanying drawings illustrative of my infvention, Figure l -is ahorizontal sectional view of a partition formed of two parallel series of plates, the plates of each series having vertically grooved flanges between which are molded the vertical cementitious studs, the flanges being grooved adjacent the studs so as to interlocktherewith. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional Fig. 3 is a perspective view of. one of the cement plates. Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view, yof a form of my invention in which but one series of vertical plates is employed. Fig. 5 is a vertical sectional view taken on the dotted line c-d of Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a horizontal' sectional view of a modified form of my invention in which the 'flanges and rigid bars are dispensed with, the view being taken on the dotted line m-o'z. of Fig. 7. Fig. 7 is a vertical sectional view taken on Ithe dotted line e-f of Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a modified form of my invention in which the rigid bars are dispensed with, as well as the vertical flanges, the plates of opposite series being connected to each other by vertical wire clothembedded in the plates, the view being taken on the `dotted line c- Zr of Fig. l0. Fig. 9 is a vertical sectional view takenyon the dotted line'g-h of Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a vertical sectional View taken on the dotted line dj of Fig. 8. i

Similar characters'of' reference denote similar parts.

Referring to Figs. l, 2A and 3, this partition comprises two vertical parallel series of thi-n plates l, the platc's of eachseries being disposed edge on edgeone above the other, and the plates adjacent their vertical edges having vertical flanges 2, the adjacent sides of said flangesy of contiguous plates being-*vertically grooved, and in the spaces'between the flanges are molded vertical cementitious studs 3 which fill the saidvertical grooves and. thus interlock with the flanges of opposite pairs of the two series of plates. Embedded in each stud 3 is a vertical rigid bar, preferably of iron, and denoted .by 4, the ends of which are respectively secured to top and bottom supports comprising the joists 5 and 6 respectively. Embedded longitudinally in the plates l are wires 7 bavingprojecting ends adjacent the ends of cach plate 1, which projectingl endsv are embedded in the adjacent 'studs 3 and secured to the bars 4.

As shown in Fig. l, the plates 1 may be provided each between the end lflanges with similar central grooved flanges, also. disposed in pairs located opposite corresponding pairs of the lopposite series of plates. In this case also, the spaces between the flanges of corresponding pairs is filled with cementitious material forming a stud 3.-" y

In the form shown in Figs. 3 and the partition is formed of but a single'series of plates 1, having the flanges 2, bars 4 and wires 7 already'described. The bars 4 are also secured in a like manner to the supports 5 and 6. In this form `more-flanges 2 may be provided on each plate and all of the spaces between v the flanges being filled withv cementitious material 8.

In' the form shown inFigs. 6 and 7, the flanges are 'dispensed with,.as are also -the rigid bars. In this form the wires 7 have their' projecting ends united to the corresponding endsyof the wires in the opposite My invention may be modified in other ways within.v

the scope of the appended claims without departing from its spirit.
